Puppy throwing up.

Uh...

It doesn't seem like a major thing, but I wanted to check here.

Gordy (81/2months) threw up part of his breakfast (weetbix) three days ago.

Two days ago he threw up, I have no idea what, he just came around from my brother's 10 mins earlier.

And today, my brother took him for a walk, and said he was dry-reaching when at the park. (about 50mins after dinner)

I am taking him to the vet for a microchip in a couple of days, and will add this to my list of questions, but is this anything I should be concerned about? Because apart from this he appears to be fine; he still runs around, tail wagging, playing like normal.

Just wait for your vet visit, they should be able to help you out.

Herschel sometimes throws up if we wait too long to feed him in the morning (if he wakes up at 8 and we don't feed him until 12).

^^Interesting.

I think I am inflicted with a bit of paranoia as well since reeading all these stories/articles on bloat and other things.

Which reminds me, mum was just talking about it today. When Gordy was 4 months approx, I had him with me for the day, then dropped him at my brothers. Got a call later that day asking why he is 'fat'. Well I didn't feed him that day, apart from a few pieces of kibble for food rewards. When I dropped him off he was normal. I thought he was exaggerating/joking.

Mum told me that he was really big around the waste. That my brother called his friend's mum, who is a vet. She said that it should be fine, just keep an eye on him, and if it's still there in the morning to take him to the vet.

Well, if I had read about bloat back then I would have freaked. But by the morning he was back to normal.

 

[Herschel]

Does your brother feed him anything?

Could you call your friend's mom or another vet to ask about the situation?

 

[makka619]

Well, apart from throwing up he doesn't appear to have any thing wrong. Still eats normal, and I can't think of anything out of the ordinary that he is fed. Well... mum has been changing his dinner, just adding a couple of different things into the mix. Used to be pumpkin/peas/carrot, but now she will add some potato or something else. Will mention this to the vet. Do you think that could have something to do with it?

 

[Herschel]

Anything new to the diet could throw off his stomach. Heck, he might even be allergic to potatoes! (Keep your fingers crossed and pray that isn't the case)

 

[makka619]

Oh :O I will.

I am seeing a vet tomorrow. I will ask him. I wonder if they do tests for this type of thing. I will let mum know about changes to the diet and get a list of what she has cooked with his veggies to take to the vet.

Eeek. Thanks Herschel for your responses
